Defining the Input Record Path
When defining a new data source in Primo, it is important to determine the input record path of the record within the XML file. This value is recorded in the Input Record Path field for each data source defined in Primo.
For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<OAI-PMH xmlns="http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/ http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/OAI-PMH.xsd">
<ListRecords>
<record>

Sample Data Source Record
The following table lists the default values that Primo assigns to each type of data source.
Currently, the Input Record Path field defaults to record for any data source format (this will be changed in a future service pack). If your site uses different formats, you will need to verify this field.
